Excess molar volumes of the binary mixtures of polyethylene glycol 300 with ethoxyethanols at various temperatures

Abstract Densities at T  = (293.15, 298.15, 303.15, 308.15, and 313.15) K in the binary liquid mixtures of polyethylene glycol 300 with 2-ethoxyethanol, 2-(2-ethoxyethoxy)ethanol, or 2-{2-(2-ethoxyethoxy)ethoxy}ethanol have been measured over the entire range of mixture compositions. These data have been used to compute the excess molar volumes. The excess molar volumes are negative over the entire range of composition for all studied mixtures. The results are discussed in terms of intermolecular interactions in the bulk binary mixtures.
